Pros: New 3X Nikkor Zoom, “Point’n’Shoot” simplicity, Matrix Metering, CSM mode and Quick Review mode
Cons: Slow start-up/cycle times, rechargeable battery/charger not included
Nikon has been the world’s pre-eminent film based camera/optics firm for more than half a century, and since the advent of the digital photography revolution, the company has had an important and significant impact on the development of digital imaging....
Pros: Small, feature-full, 3.21 megapixel Camera with user friendly layout Cons: battery life, LEMON-PRONE, bad customer service.
Four months later: I've been using my replacement 885 camera at least four times a week and been pretty satisfied. This makes me think the first camera was just a lemon. That still doesn't excuse anything, nor does it forgive the poor service I...
Pros: image quality, size and weight, manual controls, optional wide angle and telephoto lenses Cons: somewhat complicated in manual mode, short flash range, relatively short battery life
I purchased this camera as a replacement for my trusty 2 year old Coolpix 700 to get the zoom lens and increased resolution from 2 to 3 megapixels. The 885 produces images of excellent realism and detail and is very light and easy to carry. I thought...
Pros: Image quality, design, ease of use, good auto and manual mode photos, build quality excellent. Cons: Reds far too red, lens cap on a string, slow 'processing' speeds
This is my first digital camera. Previous to this I owned a mid-range 35mm Canon SLR which I always thought took excellent shots, until I saw the photos from the Coolpix 885.
Pros: Good features - nice design - sharp images Cons: RED color - battery life terrible and adaptor/recharger is extra
I read lots of reviews before deciding on the Nikon 885 - mainly due to a seeing a number of good reviews (some even claiming it's the best 3MP digital camera available) plus the excellent Nikon reputation (I own a 35mm Nikon which is great.)
Pros: Good controls, sharp pictures, good manual mode Cons: No sound in movie mode, color tends to red in low light
I've been using the camera for about 3 months now. It was very quick to learn (my first digital) I was experimenting with the manual controls after my first day (necessary if you're taking action shots indoors)
Pros: Compact, lightweight, user-friendly, affordable, high quality photos Cons: Lens cap on string, red hues indoors, battery charger not included
I've been looking for a small, versatile digital camera with good picture quality for some time. After having some bad experiences with digital cameras, I was sceptical.
I was in Best Buy looking around and saw the Nikon Coolpix 885. It had...
Pros: Compact, lightweight, decent battery life, uses CF cards, good macro, easy to use. Cons: Limited accessories included, lens cap, too many menus, Quicktime, inconsistent fill flash, poor software
I just got back from Hong Kong where I picked up the Coolpix 885 from one of the more trusted dealers on Stanley St. so I can't be sure the international version is the same as the U.S. version. My wife had seen several different digital cameras and...
Pros: Good picture quality, easy to use, compact and small, lighweight, good features Cons: buttons fragile, short battery life, no extras, accessories hard to find
I bought the camera at buy.com and even got a $35 rebate on a 128MB compact flash card. Since the camera does not come with a rechargable battery or AC supply, I bought an extra battery and charger from bestbuy.com for $49.
Pros: Affordable, easy to use, tons of options Cons: somewhat small, odd shape to handle
I have had my Nikon 885 for 3 weeks now. Upgraded from a 3 year old Kodak Digital camera. The 3.2 megapixel image is many times sharper and superior in quality over the 1 megapixel images of the kodak camera and even 2 megapixel cameras.
Pros: Sometimes it takes decent pictures Cons: Very red backgrounds indoors, poor customer service
I have a Sony Mavica FD83 that I have been very pleased with in terms of decent shots, decent color. However, it is very bulky to take, and it ends up staying at home. In addition, on a vacation, dealing with fifty floppies is daunting to say the...
Pros: small, fits well in your hands, auto mode takes good simple pictures for a beginner Cons: Color red looks poor, other modes are confusing to use, no real accessories included

I never was big on photography until my girlfriend bought me a...
Pros: Light, small, sharp, easy to use, flexible manual controls Cons: Wide angle not wide enough, no external flash, 16MB memory not enough, battery life.
Scanning film is a pain. Plus, my SLR is pretty big and heavy when I have a lens and flash attached. So, Santa delivered the Nikon CoolPix 885. It's everything my SLR is not: small, easy to use, lightweight, and it doesn't need film. Also, unlike my...
Pros: Small, Good Lens, Rechargeable Battery Supplied,Nice Design Cons: Removable Lens Cap, Lack of software
I bought the Coolpix about 4 weeks ago to replace my aging Agfa E-Photo 1280, On first opinions the camera is light, well made, well designed, and has a good spec,
When the EN-EL1 Battery is charged ( 2 hours ) The camera really shows it light, I...
Pros: Easy to use, affordable, lightweight and convienient. Cons: Haven't been able to find any yet.
I received this camera for Christmas this last year and have used it non-stop ever since.
Being a mom I love to be able to take pictures of the kids whenever they do something cute. I'm also always snapping at their sports events, wouldn't...
